Salary

Top-of-market compensation.

Location

Australia, on-site.

Company Description

The client is backed by top-tier Silicon Valley investors and is expanding across the world: 40+ locations, with a local team in every market it deploys in. It helps large enterprises accelerate AI adoption to unlock their full potential, combining a complete AI operating system with local deployment teams that get AI into production quickly. It reached a $2B valuation 13 months after founding, on $286M raised. Australia is one of the markets opening now, and this role is its technical leader, reporting into the global HQ's C-level and deciding locally.

What You'll Do

• Lead the technical side of sales into Australia's major banks, telcos, and insurers: early conversations, live demos, architecture and security reviews.
• Stay hands-on: ship code, build the first integrations yourself, and set the quality bar nobody else is there to set.
• Hire and lead the technical team across engineering, integration, and pre-sales. You are laying the technical foundation of the Australia entity.
• Own customer integrations end to end, from scoping to production deployment, and hold the line on accuracy in live environments.
• Bring the market back to the product org: feedback, localization, and what Australia needs that global doesn't ship yet.
• Be the local technical face: partnerships, escalations, and the person customers call.

Who You Are

• Australian citizen or permanent resident.
• 8+ years hands-on software engineering. You've shipped things that ran in production, not slide decks about them.
• Proven in pre-sales, solution architecture, or complex technical implementations. You've been in the room when the deal turns technical.
• Customer-facing by background (Site CTO, Solutions Architect, or similar), fluent in both tech and business.
• Fluent English, written and spoken.
• Leadership DNA at Director, VP, or Founder level.
• Zero-to-one comfortable: you build the plan, the team, and the system with nobody above you to ask.
• Great if you have: founded or been early at a company that scaled; enterprise AI or agent deployment experience; a network across Australian enterprise IT.

Why Join

• Own a country. Not a team, not a region. The entire technical side of a market, from zero.
• Join a company that went from zero to a $2B valuation in 13 months.
• Direct line to the global C-level, with the mandate to decide locally.
• Enterprise AI at the moment it actually lands in production, with 40+ locations already live.
